Chris Meacham bring word of a new two-piece set from Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge #34 celebrating its 5th Anniversary. The two piece set recognizes the 182 combined years of history from the 6 predecessor lodges. These lodges are depicted by their totems, lodge numbers and start date on the chevron.

Chris writes:

Here is a scan of the 5 year anniversary patch. Many lodge members are dissatisfied with the way it came out, but elected to issue it anyway. We consider this to be a mistake, as the moose on the flap do not look like moose and a few other reasons.

Chris advises that they are (at least currently) being issued one set per member.

The likely Blue Book Stats will be:
F1 TAN R LBL BLK LBL FDL; BLK 2002 2007 Fives Years of Service, RED WWW, 34 w/X7

X7 TAN R LBL - LBL FDL; BLK 182 Years of History; BLU 34, 34, 34, 294, 465, 500 Service w/F1

Chris Meacham advises that Ga-hon-ga Lodge #34 will be issuing a two-piece set to commemorate the 5th Anniversary of the Lodge.

I just wanted to let you know that Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge #34 has approved a 5-Year Anniversary Flap. It will be a two part set with the totems of the six lodges that have merged over the years to form Ga-Hon-Ga. Current production is only 100 sets, with a Strict Limit of only 1 set per person, and the possibility that additional sets may be ordered. We are currently waiting for the order to be completed.

More information and the design as it becomes available.

Chris Meacham of Gahonga Lodge and Ray Gould have both brought word of a 5 piece set issued by Lodge #34. The lodge has created a set of patches. It is a simple stock design, embroidered with the lodge name and “RTCBSA” standing for the council. The Lodge Advisor advised Ray:

Conversation with the Lodge Adviser confirms they were issued beginning Spring Ordeal/Fellowship 2006 and continued Falll Ordeal/Fellowship 2006. There are currently 125 of each part and the Adviser indicates that if deemed successful in helping promote training, they may be continued in the future (re-order if needed). They were issued in no specific order and specific part were given to those attending each of 4 separate training sessions at their lodge functions. They combine to form a jacket patch.

While available on Lodge events, it is not event specific and will likely carry the X designation in the Blue Book.

Blue Book Stats:
X2 BLK R PUR TUR OLV FDL; TUR RTCBSA Baden Powell Design TR w/X3,4,5, 6
